Angel Biscuits

This is a more elaborate recipe for biscuits but the use of yeast and buttermilk certainly make a difference to the good and is worth the time and trouble.

Angel Biscuits

1 tablespoon yeast
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons lukewarm water
4 tablespoons sugar
5 cups all-purpose flour, approximately
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup shortening
2 cup buttermilk

Dissolve yeast in water. Into a large mixing bowl, combine flour with other dry ingredients. Cut in shortening, add buttermilk and then the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Knead on lightly-floured board until smooth and roll out to about ½ inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
